Probably the voltage dropping towards 11.1V, below a potential minimum requirement for the voltage regulator circuit and/or the capacitors inside are undersized to maintain a constant voltage.
I'm no electrical engineer but that's at a high level guess.
Easy way to verify is just use an old style mechanical gauge and go for a drive. Then you can be 100% confident if the gauge reads one thing but your sensor reads something else. Just be super careful to not pinch the hose or anything, you don't want a bunch of hot engine oil spraying all over or a leak that empties your sump.
